Grand Madame Herself

Hidden in a little laneway in the heart of Melbourne, lies a beautiful grand madame and what a grand lady she is! I am talking about the one and only Madame Virtue & Co, located in Crossley Street. Owners Dean Hewitt and JC Lloyd-Southwell d'Anvers, and their beloved Shar-Pei pooch, Maude, bring you the very best of vintage and haute couture from around the world.

Upon entering, you will see walls lined with rack upon rack of one-off couture pieces and high-end vintage gowns. From Lanvin through to Chanel, there's is something for everyone.

While speaking to Dean, I discovered the philosphy behind Madame Virtue. Madame Virtue is all about empowering their clients. Admittedly, if I were to wear any of their couture or vintage gowns, I would feel very empowered indeed!

Along with gowns galore, Madame Virtue stocks a range of vintage scarves, such as Hermes and Celine, earrings and necklaces and not forgetting Chanel handbags, my absolute favourite!

Now is the perfect time to visit this grand madame as they are having a major VIP sale (appointment only).Madame Virtue are offering 30 % off all CHANEL and other luxury brands , sale racks $100 off all top
international designs , archive /vintage / Madame Virtue samples, as well as some menswear. Contact Dean (see details below) to arrange your appointment today!

There are trends that come and go and then there are classics. I tend to steer towards the classics. The striped boatneck sweater is yet another timeless piece which should live in everyone's closet.

I stumbled across some old pics of movie starlets wearing nautical stripes, such as my favourite style icon, Audrey Hepburn. Years have passed and the striped sweater still looks as fabulous as it did back in its heyday.

This sweater I'm wearing is by Australian label Bezoar. They seem to have fallen off the radar at present, so I hope that in the future I can purchase another one like this!

This is my go-to outfit for comfort and style when I need to run some errands. What's yours? Hoping that your weekend was fabulous and your week is even better! Yours in style Suzi x What I'm Wearing: Sweater-Bez…

Another live stream runway show I had the pleasure of viewing was the Miu Miu Spring/Summer '19 show live from Paris Fashion Week. A highlight included looks from the red carpet as worn by famous models, actresses and digital influences, such as Australia's very own Margaret Zhang. Another highlight included seeing the image projection of models onto the new Miu Miu logo. Although, seemingly "out there", it was a very interesting and exciting way to begin the show.

I loved the bow details as seen on blouses, headbands, eyewear and shoes. Tailored blazers and coats from an array of luxe fabrics were seen in the majority of looks from the collection.

The new Spring/Summer '19 Miu Miu collecion captures the very essence of the brand: feminine, chic and girly. Lots of sparkles, glitter and crystals featured in the new collection, an element that has become Miu Miu's signature. I couldn't help but capture tiny hints reminiscent of the 1920s "Flapper Girl&…

I was joking with my better half about the outfit I chose to wear to our special family reunion. We needed to travel into the city to the Fitzroy Gardens, and on our journey, we kept eachother entertained by thinking of gelati flavours which matched my oufit. In the end we decided upon raspberry, strawberry, vanilla & mango! The morning was quite fresh, so I decided to wear a layer of silk/cashmere over my silk chiffon shirt. This magical blend always comes through when I'm in need of extra warmth and comfort. This ensemble was the perfect match for my raspberry coloured skirt!

For a picnic, flats seemed like the perfect choice, because of their practicality. So I decided to bring a touch of mango to the gelati mix! These mustard coloured, patent leather ballet flats, are so chic and comfortable. They are one of my favourite pairs of Repetto ballet flats, purchased from the fabulous Alice & Deb at Treasurette.
